henward Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 welcoem to the CK club!! CKs are under rated, most ly probably cos they are pigs and they grow large and most peole cant house them. how big is your tank? what else is with it. anyways, ho pe itseating pellets. i have 2 CKs in same tank, one is not gonna grow more, stunted due to injury when little. the other is a high spot specimen - getting larger byt he day!! going for 45plus cm:D very timid fella i liek the patterns on yours! the two spots above each other they will get bigger as they get older and i find they always develop a few more when they get 30cm plus. anyways, just some questions cos im curious DIET?

snookie Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 you are going to stunt him in a 60cm tank , Clowns are great knifes to have , i sadly had to part with my 2 , due too arowana aggression issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 agreed, must move to bigger tank asap. or else you will not get its full potential i guess some train of thought would say thats ok to easier manage its size.........but why get a monster if it will never be one??

REEVESTA Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I will move him once hes a few cms bigger or he will end up as food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I sold my high spot CK because I felt that it gets too big for my 6ftr, + with all the other fish in with it such as jardini it would be too crowded. Good move. IMO they're just one of those fish that far too many people attempt to keep, and sadly most never reach their full potential of being monsters well over 2' long. OP the 6' tank should be ok, not ideal but ok, for some time, especially if you can stretch to 30" wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
